The Embassy
of France in India and Innovation & Multimedia sector of the Institut
français India are happy to announce the launch of the 7th edition of the
innovative and creative My French Film Festival.
With more
than 6.5 million screenings last
year across 206 territories, MyFrenchFilmFestival
is a unique online festival of French films featuring an exciting selection of
30 feature films and short films this year. The 7th edition will take place from January 13 to February 13, 2017.
MyFrenchFilmFestival
is the first entirely dematerialised
French film festival: it takes place all across the world at the same time,
and is the world’s first Online Film
Festival. Geared towards Internet users worldwide and available for one
month, it features a selection of 10
shorts and 10 feature films in competition. The vibrancy and exuberance of
new-generation French cinema lend the festival its signature style.
The upcoming
edition will also include 3 feature films, including the classic comedy-drama Cleo From 5 To 7 (1962) and 5 short
films out of competition. This year MyFrenchFilmFestival also commemorates legendary
French actress, Françoise Dorléac, who died in tragic circumstances fifty years
ago, in a special tribute in 4XD -
Françoise Dorléac, a segment that has never previously been released from a
short film commissioned by UniFrance in 1964.
All films
are subtitled in 10 different languages.
Featuring comedies, thrillers, action movies, romances, dramas, this festival
honours the diversity of French cinema, offering worldwide visibility to the
selected films. In India the festival is
entirely free of charge. In addition to the MyFrenchFilmFestival.com
platform, 35 platforms will relay
the festival worldwide.
Starting 13 January 2017 at 9 p.m.
Paris time/ 14 January at 1:30 a.m. in India, audiences will have the opportunity
to discover new films, watch them, rate them, comment on them, and share them. And
like in previous years, viewers can vote
for their favorite film.

Saturday 14 January 2017, viewers can
also win a trip for two to Paris via the MyFrenchFilmFestival Facebook
